STMicroelectronics TSC240 Zero-Drift Current Sense Amplifiers

STMicroelectronics TSC240 Zero-Drift Current Sense Amplifiers are precision, bidirectional amplifiers designed for high-accuracy current measurement in industrial and consumer applications. Operating over a 2.7V to 5.5V supply voltage range, the STMicroelectronics TSC240 amplifiers support both high-side and low-side current sensing with excellent common-mode rejection. These devices feature a low input offset voltage and minimal drift over temperature, thanks to zero-drift architecture, ensuring stable and reliable performance across varying conditions. With a preset gain of 20V/V, the TSC240 offers flexibility for different sensing requirements. Housed in compact SO8 or TSSOP8 packages, the TSC240 amplifiers are ideal for use in power management systems, motor control, and battery-operated devices where precision and efficiency are critical.
